Universal Monsters Online Detailed

Bigpoint has released more details for their next free-to-play game Universal Monsters Online, this time in partnership with Universal Partners & Licensing.  As the name of the game would suggest, and the picture above displays, the game will feature the Universal Pictures monsters, such as Dracula, The Wolf Man, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon.  Designed as a browser MOBA (Mulitplayer Online Battle Arena), players will get to build up in-game currency to purchase new monsters, skins for those monsters, and special abilities to get the edge on your opponent.

The game looks to be pretty true to the source material with a few stylistic flares and Universal Pictures has more than 80 years of monster material to draw from, so here’s hoping the game will have a good balanced fun and players aren’t all running around as the best known monsters.

So far the game is set for a Summer release, but there is a chance to get in on the closed beta testing that will be starting soon by checking out the Universal Monsters Online website HERE.

WeMade Entertainment E3 Wrap Up

WeMade Entertainment surprised many at E3, with various innovative mobile titles!

WeMade Entertainment came hard this year at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) this year, showing off an impressive new line-up for iOS and Android games. Their exhibition booth was said to have about 200 people walk-through who got to experience eight mobile and online titles.  The lineup included Project Dragon: The Roar From The Dungeon, Chaos and Defense, Viking Island, Pet Island, Goblin Mobile, Friend Fighter, Rhythm Scandal, and Hero Square. Of these eight titles, six were playable.

Perhaps one of the most impressive things about WeMade’s line up was the variation in the line up. Project Dragon: The Roar From The Dungeon is an MMORPG with drop in and drop out play. Chaos & Defence on the other hand is a real-time strategy tower defence title where players can take on AI or other players. Viking Island is a fully 3D RPG adventure with social integration that involves a unique mix of farming and fighting. WeMade also has Pet Island to show off which is about bidding on the economy simulation environment, while Friend Fighter (working title) is about 1-on-1 combat similar to classic fighters like Street Fighter but with added social features. Goblin Mobile is a side-scroller action game where players choose from one of three classes then hack, slash and shoot monsters. WeMade also had Hero Square on display which is an RPG and simulation mash up with over 20 different hero classes about exploring and battling monsters with friends and social functions. Finally there was Rhythm Scandal, a rhythem action game with location-based elements built in featuring 3D avatar customisation and trendy K-Pop music.

WeMade Entertainment have impressed many with their extensive line up this year, focusing on multiplayer and interesting social features. WeMade Entertainment is set to reveal additional details for all eight titles throughout the year. For more information check out www.facebook.com/WeSocial and stay tuned to Capsule Computers!

The third beta weekend for The Secret World, titled “Hell Raised”, is coming this weekend starting June 15th and it is planning on bringing players even more than the last two.  This time around players will get to play the start experiences for the other two factions, the Dragons and the Illuminati, as well as many more areas previously unavailable.  Included in these areas are two dungeons, The Polaris and Hell Rising, so that players can test their resolve as well as their character.

The Secret World has already gotten 1.3 million players registered for beta testing, but that can certainly go up as the easiest way to get into the beta test is by pre-ordering the game.  After this weekend there will only be one beta weekend left, which will be coming next weekend starting the 22nd.  After that the game is set to be released on July 3rd, so no more beta access, though players who have pre-ordered will be able get into Early Access on June 29th.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz will be released this Thursday the 14th of June in Japan as Super Monkey Ball Vita. To celebrate, two new videos have been released by SEGA of Japan. The first video focuses on the different levels that will be present in the game. What is awesome is that the charm of the Super Monkey Ball series translates well onto the Playstation Vita. The levels involve a train, gigantic clay monkeys and lots of bananas.

The second video features another bikini wearing Japanese model. Like the previous one, the model plays the game while on something that is somewhat related to the game. The last model played the game while lying on an exercise ball. This model, however, uses something quite interesting. Watch the video to see what I mean.

For those outside of Japan, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz won’t be released until October 23rd in the US and October 26th in EU.

There has been some information leaked from Dengeki PlayStation concerning the next Playstation Vita Game Heaven broadcast. In an interview with Sony Computer Entertainment Japan CEO Hiroshi Kawano, it was revealed that the next , Game Heaven will be a broadcast watched from the start to finish, similar to Nintendo Direct, scrapping the sudden release of information which plagued the first Game Heaven. Kawano has also revealed that, like the last Game Heaven, there will be third party games present with new information and development secrets. Not included in this interview is when the broadcast will happen. No new date has been revealed since it was announced the broadcast will be held in June.

In other Playstation related news revealed in the interview, the Wonderbook AR technology will be released in Japan, there will be more Hatsune Miku related announcement in the future and an internal team has been formed to look into the Japanese Playstation Plus program. Users of the Japanese PS Plus program have complained that it is quite low key compared to the North American and European PS Plus programs.

Despite the PlayStation Portable playing its swan song in North America, Aksys Games isn’t about to let the handheld disappear without a trace. During our brief meeting with Aksys Games during E3 they revealed that they would be bringing Ragnarok Tactics – The Princess of Light and Darkness to the PlayStation Portable on November 7th.

The title will be released both digitally and in stores in North America and will feature customizable characters and job classes from the classic Ragnarok Online MMO. The title will apparently feature multiple endings as well for those who want to play through the game more than once. Any fans of Ragnarok Online interested in picking up this game once it hits stores?

ADV sues Funimation for ‘Illegal Monopolization’

In a bit of strange and tiresome news, ADV who seem to somehow still have a breath of life left in them. The company is currently involved in an ongoing lawsuit with Funimation over ADV’s dissolution and incredible debt. Now I’m not going to go into a great deal of jargon here because I hate lawyers and their shit talk, so I will keep things simplified and to the point.

Basically ADV claims that Funimation have partaken in illegal activities in order to gain a monopoly over the Anime Industry. What exact illegal dealing that Funimation did is not particularly detailed by ADV outside of the vague statements they make such as claiming that Funimation “engaged in anticompetitive or predatory conduct to maintain willfully, or to gain their monopoly”. What exactly that means is that ADV think that Funimation tried pushing companies out of the industry in order to become the only company in the industry, thus having a monopoly over it.

It’s all pretty much shit talking at this point, but we will keep you updated on the progress of the counter lawsuit from ADV who continue to fight even though their ‘fans’ stopped long ago. What do you think of this lawsuit? Let us know in the comments section below.

Bowl with some anime-like characters in Aksys’ Crazy Strike Bowling

Among the various press releases that Aksys Games’ representative showed us at E3 this year, an interesting looking combination appeared at the bottom of the pile. An anime-styled bowling game will be released sometime later this year under the name Crazy Strike Bowling.

Unfortunately the team didn’t have much to say about the title so far and in our brief meeting we admittedly forgot to take an image of the game’s boxart itself, though it seems that Siliconera was more than capable of providing it. Interestingly enough, Crazy Strike Bowling will feature PlayStation Move support so this may be an interesting title for anime fans eager to get some use out of their Move controller.
